Feature Suggestion, related to new variable watch list capability

[hanness]

Consider this low priority, but just something that I think could be helpful and may be easy to implement (hopefully!).

When you press F4 in debug mode, you get a list of all the variables used in the program so that you can select variables to watch. Since a list of all variables is already being gathered to be displayed here, it would be excellent if this list could be copied to the clipboard or to a file.

Maybe another option on that same F4 screen to copy the information displayed to a file or to the clipboard could be implemented.

I just think that it would be helpful to be able to save this list to aid in managing, cleaning up, organizing, etc. I have a program that currently shows 242 variables available when I press F4. I know that this doesn't include arrays (and I have a good number of those as well), but it would still be extremely useful.

I've added the ability to hit CTRL+C when the variable list is in focus to copy the contents to the clipboard. I don't have any more room for a dedicated button though, but this should suffice.

New dev build should be available soon, I'll let you know.

Wow, that's perfect.

Thanks for doing this.

I gather that you cannot use smaller font to squeeze in the extra buttons.     :)




Any chance of a "Help" feature (like the QB64 IDE) - this would in theory allow much more room for things and explanations (sort of like a wiki for $debug)?

@Richard only one font size at a time, don't forget the IDE operates in SCREEN 0 ☺️
